about

Yellow Roses (Spanish style) written 2005

This song was written several years ago for my sister. Never published or performed, it's has stuck with me through the years, and I included it here at the urging of my daughter. It's her all time favorite.

lyrics

Yellow roses on your doorstep
Yellow roses in your hair
Yellow roses on your bedspread
Yellow roses everywhere
Would that life were endless summer
Without a care
And the times I love you mostly
Are when autumn’s in the air.
I was once your princess
And you were my queen
And I knew that you were mostly nice with a dash of mean
But you were all I asked for
You were my shining star
You were my big sister then and you still are
You’ve got one foot in heaven
You’ve got one foot up there
And you’re breathing in and breathing out
That brilliant air.
You are all I asked for
You are my shining star
You’re my big sister, thank god are.
[CHORUS]
And the times I love you mostly
Are when you’re not there.
